Counterweight Records Presents: 7 Days of Nas (FreEP)

Throughout the years, we’ve heard countless artists and producers offer their take on Nasir Jones’ timeless catalogue, and next up to take a stab at it is Swedish producer, Max I Million, reppin’ Counterweight Records. Using various soundscapes, and flipping everything from bass drives synth samples, to mellow Jazz chords and thumping drums, Max I Million creates a vibe the resonates seamlessly with Nas’ original concepts and wordplay. For good measure, DJ Devastate adds his turntable wizardry to the mix, providing razor sharp cuts and scratches to the chorus of each track. Keyboardist, Fredrik Segarfalk brings it all together by dusting analog tones in just the right doses.

Appropriately titled, 7 Days of Nas, where each track has been released subsequently over the past week, through Counterweight Records’ SoundCloud page, the free project can now be downloaded in its entirety in one simple click, courtesy of AudioMack. 7 Days is released in collaboration with the Belgium based online radio platform, Laid Back Radio (LDBK). Artwork is provided by Jonas Hilmersson, who reinterpreted a Nas illustration, using classic Nas lyrics. Enjoy.
